Psalms 29:5

Lebanon
God's power and sovereignty

3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.
